MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTE~SBER 9, 1996 <br />Morelan asked if a staff vehicle would be less <br />expensive than paying mileage reimbursements. <br />The City Administrator felt the mileage reimbursements <br />were more cost effective than purchasing and <br />maintaininq a City vehicle for staff~s use. <br />Scalze reported it is her understanding the City of <br />Roseville is not budgeting funds for the Roseville Area <br />Senior Program for 1997. Scalze pointed out that <br />Roseville receives the bulk of these services, and she <br />questioned Little Canada's funding of this program if <br />Roseville is not participating. <br />The City Administrator reported that he would contact <br />Roseville to obtain this information. <br />Council reviewed the budget request made by Northwest <br />Youth & Family Services, and LaValle asked if there <br />were full-time health personnel on staff. The <br />Administrator reported that he would review the <br />information provided by NWY&FS and report back to the <br />Council. The Council indicated presentations by <br />community services organizations are unnecessary. <br />Morelan asked about the $24,775 carry forward shown in <br />the Budget, and suqgested this amount be reduced for <br />future budgets. Morelan suggested the reductions could <br />occur in 1998 and 1999 when there is no capital <br />improvement levy. <br />The Administrator pointed out the debt service levy <br />will increase when the capital improvement levy is <br />eliminated. If the City wishes to reduce the carry- <br />forward amount, the best opportunity would be in the <br />year 2000 when our debt levy drops dramatically and we <br />could absorb this amount. <br />Scalze pointed out the carry-forward amount was <br />intended to reduce the amount the City must levy. <br />The City Administrator reported that is true. The net <br />levy amount was reduced by the $24,775 each year. <br />However, the budget in each year has worked well and <br />the carry-forward amount was not used. However, it <br />will be gone and we would then need to levy for it. <br />Morelan felt the $24,775 was a liability to the City, <br />and suggested the liability be absorbed in 1998 and <br />1999 when the City would not have to levy for it. <br />7 <br />
